zipgroupfileset is quite cool

Hi, all. I am using 1.5beta1, and am quite happy with it thus far. The biggest win for me was the zipgroupfileset - it has made my life much easier, as I already have the include information in a form that works pretty well. This let me get rid of all sorts of tedious targets, properties, a

[newbie] How to display values pointed to by refid

This is a newbie question. In a build.xml (tomcat), pathelement and fileset are used to create a path with id of "compile.classpath" and used in many places. How do I display the values generated? This on an NT system. No luck in using echo or exec [to run an external bat file] in the build.xm

Right after you perform signjar, touch a file that acts as the timestamp for the last time you performed signjar. Then have your signjar target depend on a check-jar-up2date-4signjar target that uses between the jar and the timestamp file, setting a property if it need (or not) updating, and have

would anyone out there know how to accomplish this? it seems that the signjar task signs a jar file regardless if it has changed. this takes quite a long time if the jar file is large. thanks, mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:

Well, you could do: or The - in front of target name -do-targertx makes it difficult (impossible ?) to call -do-targertx from the command line. The public targertx (a meta-target really) always performs targety after a successful targetx. Is that what you wanted? -
